carried 50 oz Camelback with Heed, 2 Gus (didn't use), Clif Shot Blocks (ate 5), shirt, hat, gloves, space blanket - wore sunglasses, no hat (too much sweat on glasses) - legs felt tired right from the start, hopefully from the run the night before and not horrible fitness (but I'm sure that's part of it) - decided to try to cut straight through the woods above Jim's Grove to reach the trail beyond, but this was bushwhacky and you end up having to descend - not a good choice, probably lost a bit of time doing this - really started fading after crossing over the main trail on the way up the flanks of MLW - picked poor lines on the way up to the base of the Cables - took the Cables carefully - a bit wet, but not bad - crawled from the top of the Cables to the summit, tuckered out - descent of the Keyhole went fine - cut over flanks of MLW on descent to Jim's Grove trail - scouted various trail options below Jim's Grove - somehow missed the final shortcut trail and stayed on the main trail to the finish - really disappointed by my slow ascent time
